East Africa enjoys many short-term teams that visit for one to two weeks, short-term volunteers who serve for one to six months, and GEO (Globally Engaged in Outreach) missionaries who serve from six months to two years. Part of the joy of my work is to match those willing to serve with the needs of the churches we work with.
I'm happy to share that in about one month's time we will have two new GEO missionaries serving here in Kenya. They'll be working with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kenya's National Project Coordinator, Rev. David Chuchu, who works out of Kisumu, about six hours from Nairobi. They'll be primarily working with the ELCK's 1001 Orphans child-sponsorship project and the Project24 program to build rescue centers. Learn more about this young couple, Tim and Megan Dooms, and their work at their website www.hujamborafiki.blogspot.com or support their work at www.lcms.org/dooms. We're excited to see them here - please pray for them and praise the Lord for the workers He raises up! -Shauen
